President Donald Trump's ex-national security adviser, Michael Flynn, wants immunity to testify on alleged Russian election meddling, his lawyer says.

Robert Kelner says his client "has a story to tell", but needs to guard against "unfair prosecution".

Mr Trump said that Mr Flynn was right to ask for immunity, accusing Democrats of orchestrating a "witch hunt".

Congress is investigating the allegations, with one senator warning of Kremlin "propaganda on steroids".

Mr Flynn was sacked in February after misleading the White House about his conversations with a Russian envoy.

I'm one of those people who, if I see a person I know, I must find out where they're from otherwise it'll bother me endlessly.

Flynn didn't actually ask for immunity. He asked for protection from unfair prosecution. Big difference.

Too bad he already opined the same request was an indication of guilt when it involved team Clinton.

Is that a legal term, protection from unfair prosecution?

Well immunity would protect someone from even fair prosecution so logic should tell you that a request for protection from unfair prosecution is not equal to a request for immunity.

You mean like when you put "wiretapping" in quotes it doesn't mean wiretapping?

He asked for protection from payback from the so-called president. Sounds like he might be carrying a whistle.

Or when you say "the crowd was the largest ever" you actually mean "there were about 50 people and 150,000 secret service agents in attendance at the inauguration." LOL.
